CACEIS is the asset servicing banking group of Crédit Agricole and Santander dedicated to asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, banks, private equity and real estate funds, brokers and corporate clients. Through offices across Europe, North and South America, and Asia, CACEIS offers a broad range of services covering execution, clearing, forex, securities lending, custody, depositary and fund administration, fund distribution support, middle office outsourcing and issuer services. With assets under custody of €4.7 trillion and assets under administration of €3.3 trillion, CACEIS is a European leader in asset servicing and one of the major players worldwide (figures as of 31 December 2023).

On 3 July 2023, CACEIS completed the acquisition of RBC Investor Services Bank S.A. activities in Europe and Malaysia. All legal mergers in countries with two entities such as Ireland have now been completed. CACEIS has significantly strengthened its presence in both Luxembourg and Ireland, Europe’s leading fund administration and distribution centres, and the company has close relationships with regulators and industry bodies built over many years, so they can act in the best interests of their clients and the industry they represent. With the acquisition of RBC Investor Services (RBC IS) in Ireland, CACEIS is now the 6th largest depositary, administrator and transfer agent for Irish regulated funds.

Their continued business success in Ireland demonstrates their clients’ confidence in their ability to integrate all elements of the RBC IS deal while taking advantage of the opportunities that this major acquisition offers the group on a global scale. Ireland remains the jurisdiction that has the greatest focus on the ETF space and CACEIS has everything in place to support players in this industry. There are many factors to consider when selecting a domicile and CACEIS in Ireland has a range of highly qualified people able to provide insight and assistance to promoters so they can make informed decisions on the domicile that best suits their business development objectives.
